Course Goal / Objective
Attempting to understand from material remains human intellectual and physical evolution in prehistoric periods and their resulting cultural development, from the perspective of technology.
Course Content
The adventure of the development of technology begins with orienting the intelligence, logic and sense organs of the first people toward materials. It is irrefutable that the longest stage of this process, up to the invention of writing, encompassed the foundations of all of today's advanced technologies. This course will consider and teach, in the framework of the process of prehistoric transformations, people and their products, and the technological developments of their production, in parallel with their physical, mental and psychological evolution.
Course Precondition
Must have been chosen by five or more students
Resources
The assigned articles should be read.
